Magic at Midlife

Magic at Midlife: Your Relationship Roadmap for Romance After 40 was written by Jennifer Y. Levy-Peck, PhD, a psychologist, and her husband Charles Peck. It offers mature readers practical advice on how to find just the right partner, how to navigate the dating minefield, and how to create a lasting relationship that is healthy and joyous. It was written for people who are considering a long-term, committed relationship or who are interested in understanding and improving their current relationship. Based on Jennifer’s professional experience, Jennifer and Charles’ personal story of midlife love, and stories shared by many other couples, the book helps readers to pinpoint their own values and goals, identify what makes relationships work and what makes them toxic, communicate effectively, problem-solve typical concerns such as reactions of adult children or care of aging parents, and focus on long-lasting love. The book is enhanced by examples drawn from real life, charming illustrations, tools for reflection and communication, and useful resources.
